Red Skied Sunset

this is my favorite time of day
red skied sunset on the bay
it means the day now has ended
and night time to me, is so splendid
I find no alarm in the dark
the moon has a special beauty mark
sunset starts the draw on me so tender
to the black velvet blanket I surrender
the seduction starts with red sunset
sweet kiss of night with no regret

This is gorgeous Helen...great teamwork here...I like the day's end too. These complement each other perfectly. Smiles and applause to a fellow insomniac poet.

The image is graphically vivid even without the picture. The words paint it so well... a special time of day.
